"I just admire her! She didn’t even care about Liam; what chance do I have?""True enough."After chatting with Clive for a bit, Ryan hung up the phone.He immediately contacted Peter, instructing him to tell Suzy that something urgent had come up in Windsting City, summoning her back immediately.With Liam also in West City, Ryan couldn't allow him to get close to Suzy.After putting down the phone, Ryan was about to lock the screen when his eyes fell on a phone number saved on his device.It was Sophia's number.He had previously stolen it from Clive's phone.But he didn't dial it.Now wasn't the time to take such drastic measures; he didn't want to escalate things....When Peter called, Suzy was still wrestling with the issue of the driver.She wanted to meet him as soon as possible to clarify what had happened and how the effects of the drug had been neutralized."Windsting City needs you. When can you come back?""There's not much going on here; maybe the day after tomorrow. Ryan
"When the project in Windsting City is finished, I'll submit my resignation.""No need, I have companies abroad too!"Initially, Ryan didn't want Suzy to leave the country, but now he fully supported it! The farther she stayed from Liam, the better! This way, Liam wouldn't meddle in everything."After going abroad, I haven't made any specific plans. Whether I'll continue in this profession is still undecided."Ryan glanced at her. "You can't stay unemployed forever.""That's true," but she wanted to spend time with her children first.She still had the chance to spend time with them. They were young and wouldn’t be greatly impacted by their mother's absence. If she waited until they were older, it would be too late to make up for lost time."If you want a job, just let me know! Suzy, you haven't had any unpleasant experiences working at DollarMax, right?""Not at all!" That was the truth.During her time at DollarMax, she worked hard to achieve her current position, but her superiors w
The driver followed her into the private room she had reserved, which featured high-end seafood dishes.Since she was there to thank him, she couldn't be stingy."Wow, this is so lavish! I've never had anything like this!" The driver exclaimed, his eyes widening at the sight of the extravagant dishes."Please, help yourself," Suzy said, pushing the dishes toward him with a smile. "We met under rushed circumstances, and I didn't get to ask your name. I didn't expect you to be so helpful and come to my rescue."The driver was momentarily stunned, then waved his hand dismissively. "It was nothing! I happened to be in West City with a female classmate who could find where you were, so we went over, thinking you might need some help. I felt bad about the car accident earlier.""Oh, I didn't expect you to come! I was really drunk that night." Hearing the driver's straightforward explanation, Suzy felt she didn't need to ask any more questions."You should be more careful when you're out at n
This was all part of Liam's meticulous planning!Ryan finished his cigarette, dropped it to the ground, and crushed it under his shoe before striding toward the Bentley."Knock knock—"He rapped on the window.The glass lowered to reveal a well-dressed man, clearly a secretary."Hello, sir. How can I help you?"Ryan seized the chance to peer into the back seat, but the partition prevented him from seeing anything. Still, he was certain someone was back there."Could I borrow a light? For a cigarette," Ryan asked, holding up his pack as a gesture."Sorry, I don't smoke," Alec replied with a polite smile, ready to roll up the window.But Ryan quickly shifted the conversation. "Is there someone important in the car? May I know who it is? I'm in the business world myself—owner of DollarMax. Would it be possible to make an acquaintance?"DollarMax?Wasn't that Suzy's company?Alec instinctively glanced at the rearview mirror, seeing no reaction from the back seat. He then said, "My boss is
"You understand?""Yes, I do! You see, which woman doesn't want to be carefully looked after? Even if she's meeting friends, I'm willing to wait downstairs for her. Can you do that, Mr. Park?"In Ryan's eyes, Liam, being extremely busy, couldn't possibly have time to accompany Suzy for everything. He believed that part of their separation must have been due to Liam not being able to be there for Suzy all the time.What he didn't know was that Liam used to put aside all his company matters and cancel morning meetings just to make breakfast for Suzy. Even now, he had rescheduled all his meetings online just to be in West City."She won't accept you," Liam said, seeing through Ryan as just another pursuer, much like himself, except Ryan could pursue her openly, while he had to do so secretly."We'll see about that," Ryan said confidently, waving as he walked away. "See you around."As Ryan turned and left, Alec got out of the car."Mr. Park, should we take action against DollarMax?""No n
He wanted to know who the "runaway" person was that worried Suzy so much. He felt compelled to help her, even if she might not need his assistance....Suzy received a call from Jeffrey.He said that Arthur had run away from home, leaving behind only a note saying he was going back to the country to find his mom!Ryan didn't know what had happened to her, and when asked, she wouldn't say.Naturally, Suzy wouldn't reveal more of her own secrets to anyone. Ryan already knew about her daughter and Liam's relationship; she couldn't let him know about her son too!The only people who knew about her other child were Wendy and Jeffrey.When she arrived at the hotel, Suzy quickly packed her luggage and headed to the airport.She had to go back to discuss a strategy with Wendy. If that didn't work, she would immediately go abroad to find her son."What are you doing?"As soon as she stepped out, she saw Ryan still standing at the corner of the doorway."Ryan, I need to go home for a bit.""Did
"Impossible, he always finishes his homework quickly, and the teachers at school never force them to complete their assignments! Arthur is smart and sharp; the things they teach at school are too easy for him."Suzy felt her temples throbbing.If it weren't for the fact that Arthur hadn't been found and she needed to stay strong, she might have collapsed from exhaustion the moment she received Jeffrey's call. She could barely stand now."Jeff, I have to rely on you over there... please make sure to find him!""I will do everything I can! To me, Arthur is like my own son."Suzy knew he was certainly trying his best, but... Arthur always had his own ideas. Maybe he inherited too much of someone's genes; he did things beyond what kids his age usually did.Just after she hung up with Jeffrey, Wendy called."Did you find him? Jeff’s phone is still engaged; it's driving me crazy!""He was just talking to me." Suzy anxiously watched the boarding time. "Arthur hasn't been found yet. I'm flying
He believed a child couldn’t run far. Alec nodded. "Alright."…Park Group, Legal Department.Sophia hadn't seen Liam for two days. Since Liam was a workaholic, it was strange he wasn't in the office, especially since he had no upcoming trips. What could he be doing?The more Sophia thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She feared Liam might be seeing another woman.But no matter how many times she called him, he wouldn’t answer!In the end, she had to find Clive.Because, at the moment, he was her quickest way to get information about Liam.After two attempts, he finally answered the phone."Miss Burns, can you give me a break? Do you have nothing to do in the Legal Department? I've got a ton of work here!"Clive's attitude towards her was becoming increasingly impatient."I just want to know where Liam is. Why isn't he at the company?""If it's work-related, go check on him using the company's internal system. Why call me?"Park Group had its own software for communication an
